I’ve always wanted to write children’s books. I took the plunge with finally getting one done. I’ve chosen a pen name because I really don’t think the books under my name are appropriate for kids and don’t want them to get mixed up. I’ll have a page on here for the children’s book – eventually I hope to have multiple. RJ Stone is the name the initial are the first initial of my parents who are both gone. Stone is my maiden name.

RJ Stone presents….

The Dragon of Frendur

An ordinary village.

Nothing unusual ever happens in Frendur.

One day during harvest, a cloud passes overhead. Everyone looks up. They are too busy to stop harvesting. There’s no time for rain. But it’s not rain.

Dragon hunters attack Penelope. Injured, she draws them away from the hatchery. Losing blood and in pain, she falls from the sky.

Ten year olds, Mia, the healer’s daughter, and her best friend Blu are unable to resist. Mia touches the dragon and feels her pain. Can she convince the village the dragon isn’t a threat?

Since I’ve got a new book out – I’m doing a contest.

Wayfarer Aegis has a new review on Pure PR Textuality! There are reviews on Goodreads and Amazon as well! This prequel to the Wayfarer series is only 99 cents!

Woo hoo! There’s a five star review on Smashwords for Tipped Double Scarf!

Moments in Life reviews! “There is revealed in her work a refined sensibility, a presence informed by both insight and compassion. “Great review available on Midwest Book Review

“Some of her work, like the lighter “Hiding in the Stall”, reads so much like song lyrics that by the end of it you practically have the tune worked out in your head. Other pieces, like the more contemplative “Wild Child”, are more likely to leave your mind quiet and reflective. Not a bad trick, getting both results (and many others) in the same slim volume.”Great review on Facing North
